This is a wonderful item. Easy to use and the dies are very affordable. You really can't go wrong with this!

I was the lucky receipient of this machine and already started using it. Love it. Shipped quick & everything is intact.

Bought this for my 13 year old daughter for xmas. It embosses ... to make cards, name tags, etc. She loves it. Easy to use and the price was the best i found. Free shipping special convinced me to buy it on Amazon. Great product for crafters.

Cuttle Bug is an absolute must for cardmaking and scrapbooking. Easy to use, lots of folders and cutouts to choose from. I wouldn't be without one.

My daughter and I checked craft stores, brand name websites and specialty (scrapbooking) sites and found what we wanted on Amazon. Some die-cut machines are ridiculously expensive and others are too flimsy. We wanted a die-cut machine that could handle cutting felt, with nice sharp edges. We can actually cut two layers at a time! And with a strong arm and a good TV show, you can cut a bazzillion in no time!

It does not take a great deal of practice to use, but a little is recommended. If additional pads, etc. are needed it can be expensive when shipping costs are included. Best to wait and have a few items in mind before purchasing.

what a great addition to my card making supplies! its so versatile and easy to use....ive been able to use cuttlebug embossing folders in it as well as all the sizzix dies.....i was concerned at first when using the dies that i was doing something wrong as the acrylic plate got etched into, but after much research ive found that that is normal....now im just embossing and dye cutting like crazy!!

I've owned an original Sizzix machine (and a Sidekick) for years. Recently I was talking with my friends to determine if I should upgrade to the Big Shot. They all told me to do it, but I was skeptical. My old machine was working just fine and was pretty versatile. Well, I took the plunge and purchase the Big Shot. The first time I used it I fell in love! It's a dream! It's very easy to turn the handle and it can be used with so many different dies/stencils/texturz/etc. There is a nice handle across the top for moving it around and it's substantial (not flimsy). My friends were right, this was a great investment. Now, what am I going to do with my other two machines?

this was a Christmas gift - is very easy to use and the results are clean and crisp. will use it often

I love this embossing machine! I already have a Silhouette SD digital cutter and didn't need the more expensive machines that do cutting and embossing. The Texture Boutique Embossing Machine is very reasonably priced and can use most of the embossing folders on the market for other machines. It has a small footprint, is easy to transport, and is stylish too. I'm having a great time making cards and love the embossed results!!

An interesting starting point for this craft. I have purchased the goods for other areas of work - its all about your own style and developing your own ideas. Just try it!!

***** This DVD covers everything you want to know about using the Melting Pot and UTEE to do melt art. I bought this video before investing in Ranger's product line to see if it would be something I'd like. It covers the following projects: art transfers, suncatchers, faux dichroic glass, shrink plastic push pins, faux soldering, faux cloisonne, mold-n-pour stick pins, and beeswax on canvas. You need to have no prior knowledge of this type of craft in order to do the projects--they are at a beginner level. The DVD ends with a special section of tips (cool ideas and variations), FAQ's (very helpful), and a gallery (of finished projects using demonstrated techniques). This DVD definitely shows the versatility of the Melting Pot. The projects are quick, easy, and beautiful. They don't seem to use too many extra supplies, except of course the basic ones you need to do melt art, which are extensively covered. Highly recommended. *****

I purchased this before getting any of the equipment to see if I was really interested in using the Melting Pot. I knew I could resell it if I decided this craft wasn't for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the video, and I'll be using it to coach me through some projects once I get the supplies to get started. I hope to make some unique jewelry and card embellishments, and this video makes the techniques clear and "do-able"

The Suze does a good job explaining the process of each project. She details the material list. Her instruction is easy to follow and she offers many tips of dos and don'ts and how to correct any problem areas. The projects are fun. The projects can get your creative juices going. The DVD is great for beginners in the product line and a great reminder for those who have used the product in the past. This is a good DVD to have in your library.

The device works very well. A must for hip retro style labelling. Used in our recording studio, guitars, etc...Top marks Dymo!

This is a great little label maker. It works just as you'd imagine, and has that retro funk the newer, more expensive label printers lack. It squeezes easily, but feels a little cheap. TIPS: Squeeze with just a tiny bit more force than you have to, to get the letter to show up perfectly. Always type a SPACE after the last letter so the space from the tape to the letter edge is the same on both sides. NOTE: There are a few common characters that this DOESN'T have, including: * & + % : ; ( ) [ ] The lack of parenthesis and colons means no emoticons. :( Anyone who scrapbooks, or is obsessed with organizing, should definitely have one of these.

Dymo(R) Express Pro™ Handheld EmbosserTape will not stick to any thing but paper. Worked for hours makeing labels for craft items, by the next day they had all fallen off. Tried it on pottery canisters, same story. By the time I got done making all my labels the darn label maker was not cutting tape and extremely difficult to turn to various letters. It is now in the land fill.

I got this to use with my scrapbooking. I just cut a 3/8 inch length of cardstock (preferably white core or Core'dinations), run it thru the labeler and have a cute little strip of words custom made to work with my lay out. It is great. I love that it packs so easily in my bags too.

This Dymo Express Pro label maker was affordable and does what I expected it to, so I'm satisfied. I prefer this old-school retro label maker style, over the newer white tape, black lettering labels commonly used in offices, etc. For me, there's no need for ultra high-tech keypads, digital readouts & other bells and whistles when all I need is an occasional label for the home or garage. The quality on this item seems rugged and the design is relatively comfortable and sleek. My only disappointment is that there is no ampersand ( & ) character, but fortunately I and most people know how to spell the word "AND".
